Three hurt in traffic crash in Clearwater

CLEARWATER — Three people were hospitalized Tuesday afternoon after an SUV overturned during a two-vehicle crash on Myrtle Avenue, police said.

The crash was reported about 1:30 p.m. near Palm Bluff Street and involved two Dodge sport utility vehicles. Three of the five occupants inside the vehicle that overturned were taken to Mease Dunedin Hospital with what appeared to be nonlife-threatening injuries, Clearwater police said.

There is a reason why the air in Tampa Bay is filled with playoff talk. If Thursday night's 12-8 Bucs preseason win over the Jaguars is any indication, it's also going to be filled with footballs thrown by quarterback Jameis Winston.
